The fan-made trailer cleverly combines footage fromX-Men: Days of Future PastandThe Wolverine, along with a touch of deep faking.Radcliffe has often appeared in fan-created artwork, and has continued to feature in many fan-casting debates, along with names such as Henry Cavill and Taron Egerton. Of course, as has been seen many times, fan-castings and the actual casting of such prominent roles tend not to follow the same path, so for those whowant to see Radcliffe take on the role of Wolverine, this could be as close as it gets.
